Apples and Oranges and other musings

the hard and the softer/easier

This newsletter has been fomenting in  my mind for many days, whether  to write or not write, here it is; so I wrote it. 

In the last newsletter " Conversation with a friend and with the cosmos" was the oranges, and in a  previous newsletter I had referred to the Mystical Law of the Universe, that is the Apple. Reluctant to  get into the  Apple, the hard version, but a couple of subscribers have  urged me to. Dangers with it, but  I think few will get to the place where they can flirt  with the dangers. Later in the newsletter  I will get into the mechanics. 

It  is that coin,  one side good, the other side evil and  how to flip the sides.  You can take  bad events or situations and reverse them. You can also create events or situations.  It requires that you are totally tuned into the mind-stream, you have the right  spirit, one that is mostly devoid of attachments and full of compassion that is discerning. You also need to be able to control your thoughts, holding a thought for a few minutes without waiver. Those side lobes need  to be deactivated, the lobes that block your total connection to the mind-stream. It requires work, effort and concentration.  When you can think  of  nothing and hold that thought for  a few minutes  you are on the cusp of a great connection. 

When you make that connection it  will be sensed from the front lobe, that part where the tilika or the  third eye is: the red dot, cinnabar, that the Hindu's have between their eyes. Historically they used mercury sulfide, do not recommend using this, although Buddha thought that it was okay. Originally cinnabar was further refined to make vermillion with its distinctive scarlet red color.  It is a powerfull offering prescribed by Buddha and referenced as such in the text, An explanation of Auspicious Substances and Symbols, by the Sixth Panchen Rinpoche. As Buddha put it, (paraphrased) cinnabar symbolizes and can play an important part in the realization of the activities of power through super-normal awareness and concentration, thus banishing inner and outer conflicts (finding total harmony).

Cinnabar or vermillion is often used for ritual purposes such as painting the tilaka or tikle on a forehead. The term tilaka is most commonly associated with Hinduism, and is a Sanskrit word; the Tibetan word is tikle. The red dot on a forehead is a tilaka and is associated with the third eye and the area of the head between the eyebrows where attention is focused during meditation. This is in the area where connections with the mindstream are experienced. The teaching line of Jamgon Kongtrul, (a line of teachers where the members and those of the direct reincarnated lineage teachers all share that as part of their name) postulates that the tikle denotes the essence or seed of great bliss: one aspect of this great bliss is primordial wisdom and another is radiance and strength of body.

The orange side, the easier part, is petitioning  the cosmos, or God to take action, still need to have your  delusions and ego set aside mostly, not entirely, but  be able to walk away from attachments. This does not mean abandoning your obligations, it does mean understanding and possessing appropriate values.

I want to talk about institutions and how they get corrupted and what this means, and we will take a look at the Secret Covenant and how that plays into all of this. Martin Luther saw corruption in the institution of the church and addressed it, he was ex-communicated.  Jesus saw corruption in Judaism and in the temple with the money changers and the financial games that were played with the sacrificial offerings. He  was tried, convicted and executed. It seems that great  teachers, those that know the truth: the establishment, the institutions want them out of the way and find ways of eliminating them. Power corrupts   and  absolute power corrupts absolutely.

A few  seeds for thought, as I am going to turn over the apple cart, so for those that are really looking for the truth, and if you seek the truth you will find it and also the mind-stream or El Ohim. First thought, and these are thoughts about institutions  being created and then getting high-jacked.

 Initially what is now referred to as the Nyingma sect was just Buddhist philosophy, no hierarchy, no structure, a few schools of learning and teachings and it was all about this learning. No separation, no bosses. It was not an institution, they freely exchanged ideas and teachings through the realm. Then splinter groups formed and small fights for dominance occurred.  Then along came the Gelugpa sect and it was organized, a hierarchy and they aligned with the Qing dynasty and when the Qing came to power so did the Gelugpa sect with lots of rules, many of them two faced and became institutionalized. Then the corruptions started to step in, gate keepers vying for  power and control. Money was horded, and part of the teachings faded away.

One essential teaching was  about cosmic consciousness, or as the Nyingma sect referred to as the Absolute  ONE.  It is iconically depicted as two completely nude deities, Samantabhadra and his consort Samantabhadri, with a nuance of Adam and  Eve before  they ate of the apple. They are emblematic of the Absolute ONE.

Way back when Christianity was called the WAY, the philosophy was quite different,  great teachers and writers of the truth abounded and then along came Constantine the first  Roman emperor to embrace Christianity. Surprisingly there are no copies of the New testament, at least that I could find record of, prior to the 4th century. Everything  in the New Testament starts from there,  why? This is 300 years after the fact and the events.

Christianity was called the WAY until the 4th century, it was a way to compassion and goodness, a path to follow.  The early gnostic writings of the church, prior to the 4th century have all been destroyed and only their criticisms remain. Gnostic philosophy (simplified version) is that a  person was a  spirit that was housed in a container called a  body and the person was not the body but the everlasting  spirit  contained therein. The 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians talks  about the perishable meaning the body and the imperishable meaning the spirit inside of the body. I view this as a redaction oversight, glad that something of the original truth remains. The whole idea behind the hijacking was for power and control.  It is hard to control a  spirit that you cannot kill,  but if  you tell them that they are not a   spirit and must think a certain way and have the blessing of the religious controllers, and you must pony up some funds to make it to the great  beyond promised land, well there you have it.  Then you can make  them into an army that kills for whatever purpose you want to hood-wink them with. Please note that current internet available literature about gnostics is heavily redacted and most complex beyond what was historically available through the criticisms.

If you paid attention to the wording of the Secret  Covenant, you will see that part of the plan was to hijack  religion and institutions.  Apparent success,  and makes me wonder  how far back this evil goes. There is a document called the  Protocols of the  Elders of  Zion, PDFs  were  available for download on the internet, unfortunately they have been either scrubbed/redacted or  editorialized or eliminated in the last 6 months. Too much heat for the  powers that are behind the curtain. I see this everywhere, even Baphomet, the demon, is now being portrayed as a really good guy on the internet. Interesting that when you follow or research those behind this, through web site ownership, you get to the bad guys.   One such  website that is very popular, and showed Baphomet as the really good guy, I followed to a media conglomerate,  ( https://www.dotdashmeredith.com/ ) with 29  popular magazines, People, Better Homes & Gardens, etc. In their Parenting  magazine is a  well  written article about how safe the covid vaccines  are and you can even give them to newborns, no worries. [think this comes under the heading of Baal worship or sacrifice] They have a web site about history, severely and cleverly redacted and one about religion, which is not even good fertilizer it is so off the truth.

I do have a  photocopy PDF of the  Protocols of the Elders of Zion, so ask and you shall receive.  It comes with an explanation of the  background and  fits well  with what is going on in the world. Seems to be the go to manual for those behind the curtain.

On to some connections to the 5th, not pleading the 5th. I  was reluctant to offer this, but a few  people urged me to.  My final thought is that I do not expect many, or even a few, maybe one  to get to the point where my next guidance takes us.  If you want the ultimate in spiritual power here it is.  Just one note, there are a few documentaries about the yogis of Tibet getting to the point where you need to get to; to really enable the access to the 5th dimension, but they do nothing with it, to me that seems a selfish waste of energy and time.

pre-practice preparation: get rid of delusions, self deceiving thoughts, and align your thoughts and behaviors with God, or Jesus, or Buddha, take your pick.

1. you must  train your mind to concentrate, to focus, to hold preferably no thought, but a single thought (like black or blue) will also work. hold it for minutes, when you can do it for many minutes with no concept of time you are  golden. 

          a. preferable to use a mantra, this sets up a vibration, you will need to adjust the vibration to something that feels in harmony with the universe. 

          b. never mind what the manta means or the pronunciation, it is the vibration that matters, it sets up a wave

          c. so you ignore the mantra while repeating it and you keep all other thoughts out of your head

          d. after a bit of practice you will notice that your side lobs start to feel electrified, almost buzzing with energy, this is those lobs deactivating. 

   2. when you have reached this point you can decide what you want to accomplish

          a. if you want to have a single event, not turning a bad situation into good,  visualize the event, but have it well thought out and condensed before you say the mantra and focus on the event. 

          b.  if  you are wanting to turn a bad situation into a good situation, this you must be careful. Think of possible consequences and choose a path wisely. Also think  of possible  actions and pick ones that are logical that fit the situation to accomplish it. 

    3.  once you have practiced this, you can make things happen without saying the mantra, only concentration with a seed syllable mantra,  like OM

    4. as time goes on you can just think and make things happen, but this is where a real danger comes in, you can get carried away with this power and it will take you where you do not want to go, power corrupts and this is the cusp of great power. 

You will know that you are there when the  mind-stream attaches to the front of your head and you see a tunnel with all of the cosmos in it, more than you can comprehend.
